Sitio 37: Plaza del Sol-Chapalita
A local cab stand in Mexico is called a sitio. I have not heard this term used in other Spanish-speaking countries we have visited. They are actual little huts where a dispatcher sits and takes calls, and the cab drivers hang out and wait to be sent out. All the sitios are numbered by their locations around the city, although the numbering system is relatively arbitrary, apart from the older areas of town being serviced by lower-number sitios. Our local sitio is #37, and it services the colonias that are Chapalita colonias - Chapalita, Chapalita Oriente, Chapalita Sur - as well as the area near Plaza del Sol.
Although this will not be of much interest to the general reader here, I thought it might be handy for me to post the phone numbers of Sitio 37 on the blog for the few that are local. There are actually five different cab stands that belong to Sitio 37, and the one to call depends on which one is closest.
